Owanto @ the internet

Fresh from her London Design Museum show, French-Gabonese artist Owanto brings us another football-related project, inspired by her work with The Panthers, Gabon’s national football team. Clap Your Hands takes a Panthers ritual – clapping their hands to focus before a game – and transforms it into a worldwide, virtual project by inviting us all to upload a video of hands clapping to one of several project platforms – Youtube, Facebook, Twitter… Find out more at the Creative Africa Network, or check out the Facebook page. You can watch a short video about the Gabon football shirt that started the whole thing off here.
